As Crono, Marle, and Robo walked through Guardia Forest in 1000 A.D., they
came upon a tree. "Let's rest," suggested Marle, "I'm tired." As they stopped
to rest, a shriek pierced the air. Two Beetles and an Avian Chaos appeared
and descended upon the trio.

Crono readied his sword while Robo assumed a fighting stance. Marle began
to chant a spell.

The Avian Chaos rung its bell. Crono felt dizzy, and everything looked odd.
He saw some movement off to his right, so he swung his sword.

"Ow!" Marle cried as blood ran down her arm. She immediately put herself
into a healing trance.

Robo had crushed a Beetle underneath his metal boot while this occurred.
Now he reached into his pouch and pulled out a healing potion. He had neared
Crono when the other Beetle attacked Crono, pulling him out of his dream
world as the pain brought him back to reality. "What happened?" Crono asked.

"You were confused and hit Marle's arm. She is trying to heal herself. I
suggest we deal with our foes," Robo reported.

"Then we will," said Crono. He turned and leaped into the air, Spincutting
the Avian Chaos. In his frenzy, he lopped off a tree branch as well. "Oops,"
he said.

"Cure!" Marle commanded as a swirl of light enveloped her. The wound closed
up and the blood vanished.

Robo spotted the second Beetle trying to run away. His fist flew out and
smashed the insect out of existence.
